"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

SAN MATEO COUNTY (sfbay) BECOMES 1ST IN US TO DECLARE LONELINESS AS HEALTH EMERGENCY

San Mateo County just marked loneliness as a major health issue, being the first in the U.S. to do so. About 45% of folks there feel lonely, a problem that's grown since COVID. They're thinking of setting up a 'Minister of Loneliness' role to help out, kind of like what the U.K. and Japan are doing. The idea is to focus on improving mental health and supporting those who need it most.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

They're right next to Las Vegas. Most of them can go there and get laid.

If approved, the minister of loneliness would work to enact policies to help improve not just loneliness, but also mental health in general among the public at large.
Now that I gotta see.

Policies to help improve loneliness? That sounds like Chinese and South Korean "comfort women" in WW2. What are you doing to do? Force the hot 18 - 29-year-olds to make love to Beta Suckers for free?

You can't give women "sexual freedom" and "financial and legal power" and expect to cure loneliness. There can only be so many Alpha Dogs, Leaders, and Top Men.

Lolz that's pretty simple, have every lonely person house a migrant or two. Multiple problems solved at once :D

Twenty bucks says they suggest this before year's end.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It has a large elderly population. Mostly these are the lonely folks in the county.

They are warming people up in Cali to accept illegal migrants into their homes to help them become less lonely.

The state loves it's citizens so much.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I was joking but a flight to Las Vegas and back from San Mateos is a little under $100. Considering the salaries that they make there, isn't a bad option.

But California is also the state of hot babes. If they are lonely, better to get their acts and game together. But places out there are even worse than Miami and NY last I heard. You gotta be a big roller to at least pull a 6. And a lot of this loneliness is likely coming from nerdy tech bros at the big tech companies there with no game to their name. Asians, skinny hipster white guys, and socially non relatable indians.

It’s mostly old people in San Mateo County. And they are lonely. Not many young, single guys there. If so. San Jose or SF or Walnut Creek area have a decent scene.

Isn't Stanford nearby last I remember?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

The problem with lonely old people is that they dont want to attend places or event where there are groups of lonely old people.

To those elders that feel alone I would like to ask, why you didnt get married and had kids? and if you have why they dont even bother to visit you once a week?
